GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Carefully measure and draw parallel guidelines on the roof panels beginning at the
bottom edge of the roof. Guidelines should be spaced apart no less than one half the
length of one shingle.
2.
Guidelines MUST meet evenly at all gable intersections.
3.
Begin applying the top edge of the shingles along the guidelines using hot melt glue.
Start at bottom edge of roof and continue upwards to top edge of roof. Shingles at each
end of the row will need to be cut to size. Be sure to cut and fit each shingle at the gable
intersection before gluing in place. Also keep in mind that as you continue upwards,
each row should be staggered by half the width of one shingle.
4.
The last row of shingles at the top edge of the roof will need to be trimmed in length.
They should be cut to approximately half the length of one shingle and applied, giving the
roof a finished appearance.
5.
OPTIONAL:
Apply wood stain with foam brush using caution not to soak the shingles
too heavily as the stain may cause the glue to loosen. If this should happen, just allow
the glue to re-harden on its own. (NOTE: You may want to consider staining a few extra
shingles in case any are ever damaged.)
